BIOF 339: Practical R

Installing Software

Directions for installing R and RStudio are provided here. The general directions remain the same, but the current versions of R and RStudio have been updated to 4.0.2 and 1.3.1073, respectively.

Continue to the end, where you are asked to install some R packages to start with. If you can’t or are uncomfortable with this step, no worries. We’ll also do it in class.
